I am planning to hopefully come to Turkey in a week.... Thank God most of these scams happen to Nairobi city as well except for the restaurant scam. I guess it's best to avoid people chatting with you on the road.

About 2 years ago I was in Istanbul and I took a yellow taxi from aksaray to bairoky and I swear I thought I was about to be raped and killed. The taxi driver decided to take some random route because there was too much traffic, so we ended up in this dead end location and it led us to a deserted mental Institute, where all I saw was a location where there was no route for cars to go through, I swear I opened the car door as it was moving telling him to STOP!!!! I don’t feel safe this man kept on driving and I had a out of body experience where I saw myself about to be rapped and killed. I got out and he got out and told me to get back in the car, I said no!!! Call my friend now I don’t feel safe he called my friend after 2 mins of me arguing with him apparently he told my friend he was taken an short cut and he told him no take her the Normal way blahah. I swear this journey has Scarred I’m going to Istanbul in 2 months and I don’t want to go into taxis anymore but I can’t drive lol. God had saved me I swear

Hi, good video, thanks for the tips. Been to Turkey before but never in winter. We are coming in January/February for the 1st time. Do you know what Alanya is like in winter/January. Was going to come to Istanbul but we decided on Alanya at the last minute.

Are there no Uber in Turkey?
Ur soo beautiful btw!

Not watched the video yet but NEVER GET INTO A TAXI!
They tell you that it's a "set price", you arrive at the destination, then say you have to pay for the return journey too and therefore, they double your fee.
Also, taking toll routes - telling you, you have to pay for the toll both ways too! 🙄 This happened to me and my family, we were tight for time to catch our flight.
The guy locked our stuff in the boot and threatened to call the police.

Okey, there are some serious scams here, just avoid the taxis etc.
Been covered plenty of times before.
Still, this video? Just a tourist talking sharing own experiences, gets rather boring. Obviously scams everywhere for you? Maybe nice to add some views of this beautiful city and a voice-over?
Just an idea: Check out the previous videos and be a little street-smart, should be no problems in town!
